So far here is my code
Pretty Much there is 21 sticks in the beginning the player gets choice between picking 1 or 2 sticks and the AI gets to pick the Sticks when its turn,The one who is forced to pick the last stick loses.
so far everything good but the AI gets stuck when its the last move not sure why

int sticks=21;
int take=0;// 1 or 2
int playerScore=0;
int AIScore=0;
int turn=0; // 0=init  1= player 2=AI 3=state
int mode=1; // 1=easy 2=Med 3= hard 4=Impossible  
int scene = 0; // 0=menu 1=play 2=win 3=lose
int alarm=-1; // alarm- undefined
PImage menu, game, win, lose, start, ring; //Background
PImage stick; //character

In draw()

>= is better

Oh Ok thanks
Now the showEnd() Doesnt Seem to work thou
everything runs perfectly except for the lose and win screen

4

Does scene 2 versus 3 store who has won?

The checkWin() checks the Win and turns the scene and scenes show win or lose, i think did couple months ago

6

Sorry, I posted wrong

I meant

>= is better

Then scene must be either 2 OR 3

to show if you win or loose

Yeah Correct but the void created to control the scenes doesn’t work i think or something that controls the scene doesnt work

9

Use print(scene); in draw() to find out

Erros was becouse of this it should be == otherwise everytime I won it restarts the game

12

I have not checked the code since I can’t run the sketch without the images but I can see an error in the bestChoice method it should be

int bestChoice(int s)
{
  int a = s % 3;  // 0, 1 or 2
  if(a == 0) {  // No best solution so pick one at random
    return int(random(1, 3));
  }
  // Best solution is to make the number chosen add up to 3
  return 3 - a;
}

Also, why does screen switch between 1 and 2 ?

Or why 2 numbers in one line?

I see screen and mode (edited)
